Is it only the wide angle aspect (by vignetting) that is lost or is the
quality lost as well? I have several other enlarging  lenses (and the 24
x 33 cm. cold light enlarger they were used with). Will the normal
enlarger lenses like the Apo Nikkor 9/360 or the Rodenstock Apo Ronar
9/240 yield better results when used at infinity than the wide angle
does?
